"Putin is a liar": Trump supporter sharply attacks Russia
American blogger Laura Loomer, close to US President Donald Trump, accused Russia of disrespecting the American leader after a strike on a thermal power plant in Kharkiv, which she said violated the energy truce declared by Trump. Loomer also criticized the agreement on supplies of Russian diesel fuel to the US, saying Moscow would direct the proceeds to the war and aid to Iran.
American blogger Laura Loomer, known for her closeness to US President Donald Trump, sharply attacked Russia. The trigger was a strike on a thermal power plant in Kharkiv, which she claims violated the energy truce declared by Trump on October 11. Loomer wrote on X that Russia "crudely showed disrespect" for Trump by violating the truce in less than 12 hours, and called Putin a liar. She also criticized the US agreement with Russia on diesel fuel supplies, saying Moscow would spend the proceeds on continuing the war in Ukraine and on aid to Iran. Loomer stressed that she had supported Trump from the very beginning and that he himself had repeatedly called buying Russian oil a bad idea. The article also provides a brief background on Loomer herself: she was previously known for far-right views and for spreading Russian narratives, but later admitted she had been under the influence of Russian propaganda and came to Kyiv to verify what she had heard firsthand. In July she interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
